Chapter 418 Annexation of the Northern Song Dynasty

About two-quarters of an hour later, Zhang Juzheng and others also arrived at Zhu Houzhao's imperial study.

"This time, I came to you for the follow-up work of the Anhua Rebellion!" Zhu Houzhao glanced around and said in a deep voice: "At the same time, I also hope that the war within the Ming Dynasty can be resolved as soon as possible. Next year, which is the fourth year of Zhengde, I will occupy the land of Liao Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, is this going too fast?" Zhu Xieyuan quickly reminded Zhu Houzhao.

After all, according to their plan, the destruction of the Liao Kingdom would take at least five years from Zhengde.

After all, from the beginning, their plan was to take advantage of this period to continuously eliminate the resistance forces in the Ming Dynasty, promote the reform of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, use continuous wars to weaken the strength of the Yuan Dynasty.

It is true that Zhu Houzhao did all these things.

Reform is constantly advancing, and the hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty are being exposed one after another.

At the same time, they were solved one by one by Zhu Houzhao, and Daming's strength was also developing step by step.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Zhu Houzhao should fight as much as possible to digest those lands.

But if all these lands cannot be occupied and digested, then fighting will be meaningless to Zhu Houzhao.

Only by taking all the power in your hands can you accomplish great things.

Take the great achievements of Liu Che's period as an example. Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, those who actually held the power were the aristocrats, the aristocrats of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. During the Wenjing period, they digested and shared the power of these aristocrats bit by bit.

During Liu Che's period, he could control more power of the Han Dynasty. During this period, the family clan had not yet been truly formed, which allowed Liu Che to concentrate the power of the whole country to do big things.

After Liu Che, it became extremely difficult to concentrate on external conquests.

Liu Che was born in a good era. He had a good grandfather and a good father who helped him accumulate wealth. He was also very capable and could be regarded as an emperor with excellent talents. Then he found a good wife and gave him two SSR's military generals, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, and apart from their relatives, there are no particularly big constraints internally.

It can be said that the Western Han Dynasty was still very lucky. The previous generations were all wise kings. Even the few monarchs who were not very good were in power for a relatively short time. Such a national destiny,

It has continued until Liu Xun.

Liu Bing was also a very powerful emperor, but it was a pity that he did not know how to teach his son. For the sake of his wife, he gave the throne to a son who was not suitable to be an emperor, laying the foundation for the fall of the Western Han Dynasty.

It can be said that he also paid for his willfulness.

The current Zhu Houzhao will naturally not be willful. Even Zhu Houzhao himself will not die. He has not considered heirs or anything. When the time comes, he will train a prince who will be the prince for hundreds of years, and then give him other children, regardless of gender. Divide them all.

Of course, the seal is not within the Ming Dynasty, but in the core area far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the seal will not be too big...

Let them be the slaves of rich locals.

Zhu Houzhao's plan is in full swing.

Of course, the most critical thing is that if Shunzhi's army is to be wiped out in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause considerable damage to his own side. In Zhu Xieyuan's view, this is more than worth the gain. It is better to slowly consume the effective strength of Shunzhi's army. As time goes by, the resistance army will naturally gradually lose military morale.

"I naturally know this, but I feel that it is too late." Zhu Houzhao sighed softly and said: "The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty will inevitably continue, and neither I nor Kublai Khan can swallow this breath. .

The position of the Liao Kingdom is very important to our Ming Dynasty. If we win the Liao Kingdom, the Northern Song Dynasty can also use more strength to fight against the Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty!

Moreover, that place may not be able to be used as a battlefield in the future!

In fact, there were not many in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the country suffered from internal and external troubles. Even Zhu Houzhao would have had a headache when encountering such a situation.

The generals in the north did not belong to them, and they did not have any generals. Coupled with various internal and external troubles, the Northern Song Dynasty could persist for such a long time because Zhu Houzhao occasionally helped the Northern Song Dynasty.

If Zhu Houzhao hadn't been delaying Dayuan, I'm afraid Dayuan would have taken action against the Northern Song Dynasty.

, and with the military power of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was almost impossible to resist the Yuan Dynasty alone.

After all, in history, the Northern Song Dynasty could not even defeat the Jin Kingdom, which was not long after its founding...

This country is indeed quite shameful.

Di Qing is indeed a famous general, but compared with the real top generals, the gap is still a bit big.

Moreover, Di Qing is not a famous general who can ignore the national and military power between the two sides.

It is almost impossible for him to defeat the strong with the weak, especially when fighting Kublai Khan's army.

At the same time, Kublai Khan was one of the most powerful cavalry leaders in history.

Otherwise, how could people like them, who did not know how to govern the country and only knew how to brutally plunder, develop and grow step by step?

Zhu Houzhao felt that he needed to reduce some pressure on the Northern Song Dynasty. The Jin Kingdom now had the Southern Song Dynasty to deal with, and the Liao Kingdom should be left to him to deal with it!

Zhu Houzhao is still very interested in the land of the Liao Kingdom. This area is not particularly bad. It has cities, can be used as cultivated land, and can also be used for grazing!

The Liao Kingdom was not a weak country. Although it was not as good as the Qing Kingdom, it was not particularly bad. This country was suitable as a battlefield and a horse breeding farm.

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao said to several people again: "If possible, I also plan to take my time, but now I don't wait for the time."

The Southern Song Dynasty may annex the Northern Song Dynasty at any time.

Our original plan was based on the fact that the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties could not annex each other, so they would need us to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. The two sides have always been allies bound by interests. Without us, the Ming Dynasty, they would not be able to Against Dayuan.

This gives us time to grow.

But now, if the Southern Song Dynasty annexes the Northern Song Dynasty and becomes a superpower, then the diplomacy between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty will also change.

We cannot treat the Southern Song Dynasty with the previous attitude.

And based on my behavior towards the scholar-bureaucrats, the scholar-bureaucrats will also regard our Ming Dynasty as a hostile country. It is entirely possible for them to unite with the Yuan Dynasty to deal with our Ming Dynasty. "

Zhu Houzhao's words made everyone at the scene somewhat silent.

Your Majesty still knows that his behavior will make these scholar-officials feel dissatisfied! !

However, based on Zhu Houzhao's current behavior, even if he knew that his behavior would be the enemy of the entire world, Zhu Houzhao would probably stick to his behavior, right?
